The plug-in hybrid variant, available on every trim level except S and SE Sport, projects a best-in-class EPA-estimated range of at least 30 miles in electric-only mode.

The standard hybrid with front-wheel drive targets best-in-class EPA-estimated range of more than 550 miles. Meanwhile, it sheds more than 200 pounds from the current model, due in part to the extensive use of high-strength, lightweight steel.Įvery model in the lineup, whether powered by one of two EcoBoost ® engines or the all-new hybrid powertrains, targets an EPA-estimated range of at least 400 miles per tank.
